Now I lay me down to sleep

and as I go to sleep I will remember how grateful I was today to have a sister who is going to help me get to school on monday while I wait for my grant to come through so I can replace my car.


I am also grateful I was able to see posts by AngelHugs and know she is doing okay.

I'm grateful that I am able to attend my classes tomorrow with a clean mind. I'm also grateful that I was able to find one of the classes I thought I'd need to put off until next semester still had seats in it.

Cool. Do you feel any better today? What are you studying, if I may ask?


Love and hugs,
Eddie

Political Science/Pre-law.

I'm taking a bunch of different courses this semester so I'm ready to transfer.

Oops, change of major LOL. I'm going back to computer science this semester. That was my original major four years ago. I plan on finishing my political science AA next semester in time to graduate while working on my computer and physics classes.

But I will still be pre-law/political science minor.

Tonight I am grateful God has given me the ability to use what I have to see the truth of what I want, instead of what I THINK I want.

I am grateful to be able to see things through a sharp mind again.

Are you a geek, Alera? LOL. My husband is. He earns a living doing plumbing, but is on the computer all the time at home working on programming and web design. What sort of computer stuff do you do?


Love and hugs,
Eddie

Big time geek! In fact, I was programming at age 8 on the old superPet and TRS-80s. On the internet when it was still called DARPANET, you don't want to know the rest LOL

Didn't get to write this last night, as I was so tired by the time I got out of my 8-10pm class but I thought about it all night.

I am grateful that I have the ability to return to school and learn.

It's so much easier to study when I'm not drunk, high, or hung-over!! LOL.

Today I am grateful for natural sleep.

I know what you mean. I put off taking my small taper dose so I wasn't on the big F in class and it made a world of difference today.

That's great, Alera! Did I mention I don't know how I made it through pharmacy school? I was drunk all the time and my ADD was untreated. Now I have to study for this psychiatric pharmacy exam and it is SO much easier!


Love and hugs,
Eddie

Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to learning, if that makes any sense at all

Tonight I'm grateful I was given the opprotunity in the Nar-Anon forum to cleanse myself of some of the emotional garbage my mother threw at me with her drug abuse.

Makes perfect sense, to me anyway. And you're welcome! I really ENJOYED school last year and I put being able to study well on MY gratitude list just last night. Nowadays, I'm studying for my psychiatric pharmacy exam and I've been working on biostatistics. It's very interesting albeit a bit confusing since I took statistics eighteen years ago. lol.


Love and hugs,
Eddie

Haha! Don't remind me about stats. That is one of three classes I have to take to get my AA in political science, and the one I'm looking least forward to

Tonight I'm grateful I have my fuzzy wuzzy kitty at the end of my bed purring.

I think you'll enjoy stats more than you expect. It's the perfect combination of social sciences and "hard" science/math.


Love and hugs,
Eddie

may not be so bad after all then. Thanks for the heads up.

Tonight I'm grateful I found the S.M.A.R.T. program.

You're welcome, Alera!!

Would that be the SMART Recovery program?

Love and hugs,

Yeap. It really just fits the way I think better. I'm the type of person who works best seeing things in black and white on paper when it comes to myself and how to deal with emotional problems. Actually, I'm that way all around, hence my love for math.

Tonight I'm grateful I have planned time to do my Java in the computer lab tomorrow. When I was using, I could never plan to do things at school. I was lucky if I made it to class. (Didn't want anything to get in the way of my high, now did I?)

But I'm grateful I don't think like that as much anymore and that overtime I won't think like that at all because I have my tools to help me get through this.

I need to learn more about SMART recovery, I think, especially if I end up doing any counseling. Thanks for reminding me!

Love and hugs,
Eddie
